Good afternoon. I would like to provide you with a few updates about recent developments in Congress and share some important information.
Fighting for Voting Rights
Washington, DC – U.S. Rep.
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17), Deputy Whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, released the following statement on the America COMPETES Act of 2022:
It's time for Democrats to accept that they will need to embrace a less ambitious version of the Build Back Better Act—President Joe Biden's currently defunct bill investing in health care, childcare, climate change, and education. So says Representative Ro Khanna, who has watched the bill that he and his fellow House Democrats passed last November get mired in Senate negotiations.
The House Oversight Committee on Thursday issued its second round of appearance requests to the oil and gas industry in an investigation into the role it has played in the spread of climate disinformation.
A U.S. congressional committee has invited board members at four oil majors to testify about the industry's role in climate change and spreading "disinformation," turning up the heat after lawmakers grilled CEOs last year.
Congressional Democrats on Thursday urged President Biden to overhaul his counterterrorism strategy and targeting criteria for drone strikes, citing grave concerns about "repeated civilian casualties arising from secretive and unaccountable lethal operations."
Washington, DC – January 19, 2022 – Today, Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17) introduced a bill to help small business compete with powerful retailers that are increasingly shutting out competition. The "Brick and Mortar" Small Business Tax Credit bill would provide a tax credit to help level the playing field for these small brick-and-mortar based businesses.
